/etc/gnome-system-tools/network/profiles.xml is world readable

Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools

/etc/gnome-system-tools/network/profiles.xml wep should not be world readable since it may contain WEP keys in clear text.

$ ll /etc/gnome-system-tools/network/profiles.xml

Thank you for your bug. What version of Ubuntu do you use? The new version on edgy writes profiles to the user directory and not to /etc

I was using 6.06. I am no running 6.10. Does this mean that I can
manually remove /etc/gnome-system-tools/network/profiles.xml now?

Regards,
Runar

Should be fine, if you do it maybe keep the file "in case" though
